The default servlet for Tomcat is declared in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>default</servle...
Therefore, static content is rendered by the default configuration unless you override it with your own definitions.
If you want to allow directory listing, just change the listing parameter to true :
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</para...
Change the welcome-file-list to display a default page in lieu of a directory listing:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>home.xhtml</...
Welcome pages are defined at the Web application level.

Thanks Dr.Xi, I was having a tough time changing the deployment context path of my web-app using the
so-called context.xml file under /META-INF, it dint work (tomcat documentation at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html , seemed pretty sure it would :()
But I have one question, as changing server.xml is too instrusive for every web-app you build, is there any other way of pushing this configuration to one of the application specific files ?
thanks,
Venky

Tomcat gzip compression filter can be turned on with " compression=on " in server.xml :
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
...
The default compressed MIME types are: text/html,text/xml,text/plain .
It would be nice to add other types:
<Connector
port="8080"
protocol="HTT...

You can customize Tomcat error page with error code:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
...
or Java exception type:
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Throwab...
Either error-code or exception-type is required, but not both. There's no way to aggregate error codes, such as:
<!-- This does not work! -->
<error-page>
...
Customizing error pages is about the only way to suppress the default stack trace in Tomcat in case of an unhandled exception.

Video for Everybody seems to be a generic way to embed video in a web page, even without flash. This code snippet comes from that site.

It's pretty easy to embed Flash video in HTML with swfobject . This example comes directly from the docs:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
where swfobject.js and expressInstall.swf comes with swfobjects. I provide these files:
swf/MySwfFile.swf
images/CoverArt.jpg
video/MyFlashVideo.flv

This is a simple Hello World application with Spring 3 MVC. Like the default Apache HTTPd welcome page, it displays " It works! " when successfully deployed. The sole purpose is to show the minimum elements needed to setup Spring 3 MVC.
I use Maven since it's so much easier than downloading the dependencies manually.
Directory layout:
./src
./src/main
./src/main/webapp
./src/...
pom.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project...
WEB-INF/web.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app...
WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml (empty, but needed):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans x...
WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>H...
Build with:
mvn clean package
The resulting webapp is target/springmvc.war .

This is a simple JSP custom tags library with tag body. Just like the JSF counterpart , it splits a string and repeats the body for each word, i.e., with this markup:
<%@ taglib uri="http://custom.tag.com/demo" prefix...
output:
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello Tigger!</p>

Our custom tag, as implemented in the previous note , is broken when a template is used.
Create a template file ( home-template.xhtml ):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
and a test page that uses it ( home.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Then request the page with URL: http://localhost:8080/facelet-demo/home.jsf?name=Jack .
You'll find that our hello tag works inside ui:repeat but fails to get the value defined by ui:param ! What's the problem? Our hello tag implementation evaluated the EL with the wrong EL context!
This is the corrected implementation:
package com.example;
import java.io.IOExcep...
